$5 too much for that turd.
According to Steam there are 4-5 servers still active with people on, and around 70 empty ones, I agree, do avoid this game. Its been dead since a month after release.
They did have a little spurt of life when they put out the free DLC last summer.
Yeah, the servers are mostly dead. But...... If you like to play coop shooters with friends and you can convince them to pony up 5 bucks, you can play together online. Bots or other players on the few servers with population will fill in the blanks. I am playing it online and I find it mildly interesting. OTOH, I don't think the game will be one I will be playing after a couple months.
I read somewhere that they sold 2.5 million copies of this game. Huh, really? Where did everyone go?
Toy Soldiers for PC is finally out on Steam.

Please don't remind me, or ask me how much I paid. Day 1=sadface.
To play something not terrible? Its a mark of shame on my Steam list. I could have bought dozens of Spectre packs with real money for what I paid for Brink and felt much less like I wasted money. :(
Amazon UK have what must be the cheapest deal ever. The original Crusader Kings (no expansions) for one UK penny (that's 1.6 US cents or 1.4 Euro cents). Of course there's the £2.03 p&p to take into consideration, so there are probably even cheaper games in total on the download sites.
I am being lazy... On Amazon :
Dungeon Siege III $5
Deus Ex: Human Revolution $7
Deus Ex: Human Revolution: Augmented Edition $8

If you don't own Deus Ex HR yet, either buy it or turn in your gamer card.
The critically acclaimed Deus Ex HR at $7, when not even 1 year has passed from release!
I remembering the gog-games-are-too-cheap thread right now. It's great for me as a consumer, but I have to wonder if it's really sustainable model. Why people wouldn't just wait until the price is three or four times less? I suppose we are impatient and fall for hype.
You're killing the video gaming industry you damn murderers!
Dungeon Siege 3 is also great and well worth a try for $5! Ditto UFO: Afterlight, Steam's deal of the day, at $2.50.
DS3 is well-worth $5. That's what I paid for it, and I'm satisfied. Maybe even $10, if you're fiending for an action-RPG before D3 in 2 weeks, but if you're in that ballpark, might I suggest Legend of Grimrock instead?
Why do you recommend this game?
Because I enjoyed it.
They are ok games for xcom fans. The mechanics are pretty clunky though and they suffer from punishing difficulty spikes (whomever thought of ultra long range instant mind control beams with almost no defense and rapid fire, instant kill, area effect rocket launchers can go fuck themselves).
I would never recommend them to someone though. If you loved xcom and are looking for more, even if at a lower quality level, you probably know about it from your own research.
Deus Ex seems too puzzley for me. Do I have to turn in my gamer card?
It is only puzzle-ish if you are trying for a pacifist run. I do agree that it is very game-like in an old school way though.
The great thing about Deus Ex is that you can choose your preferred way of playing, so even if you find that a certain style of play is not appealing to you, there are alternatives. Unless you absolutely hate FPS/stealth games, then I think that you should give Deus Ex a try, it's very very good.
guess i am officially no longer a core gamer. here, take my card.
I didn't like the first one. Thought it was kinda dull. I was tempted to pull the trigger on the latest when it was one sale, but I finally showed some restraint. Same with Shogun: Total War. After buying each one up to and including Empire, even though I got bored before even completing one campaign, I finally stopped buying them. Maybe there is hope for me yet!
It's no XCOM, but it's got a GeoSphere (well, MarsSphere since you're terraforming Mars), research and base-building, diplomacy and that feeling of despair when you let one of your finely honed killing machines die. It also is pretty tough, so you often get the feeling of being overwhelmed, in line with the originals.
It is however fully pausable realtime, not turn-based. You can do everything including (I think?) queueing orders while paused, so it works quite well. The last thing that it has is premade characters, which possibly means there's a fail state that you can reach if you get too many of them killed (thus, reloads). I got a few killed and made out allright (some allies showed up), but you can't hire fresh recruits at all, I think. Maybe someone who's played further can say. I still found it quite enjoyable, although I burned out after Nth mission at the same location (no randomized, all premade, no destruction).
You can keep your gamer card, but you have to turn back the "identifying games correctly" card.
Deus Ex isn't puzzley. It's the definition of not-puzzley (emergent gameplay).
Puzzley is when there is one way to solve a problem, not when you have several options at your disposal (several ways to enter in a place, several weapons to employ, stealth, hacking, melee action, etc).
DX:HR is fantastic. I played through it twice. In a row. The only other game I've done that with in 30 years is VtM: Bloodlines. Which I played through three times. In a row.
$15 for the DX:HR DLC is a bit steep, though.
SUPREME COMMANDER 2 $5.09
DLC $3.39
IS GOOD, YOU BUY
If the base game didn't grab me, will this make it any better?
I doubt it. It's a great addition with some awesome stuff, but if you didn't like Supreme Commander 2 I doubt more Supreme Commander 2 will arouse you.
hahaha good way to put it! Thanks.
You got more than 2 weeks to snag these at Indie Gala: Steel Storm: Burning Retribution, A.R.E.S. Extinction Agenda, Alien Shooter.
You can pay more to get: Disciples 2: Galleon's Return (!!!), Altitude, Really Big Sky, Alien Shooter 2.
It's funny to keep seeing Disciples 2 whore itself. Who exactly is still making money from it?!?
Driver SanFran is on sale for $10.19 on Impulse.
